a website where passionate people share what they do and how they do it

Instructables is a website where passionate people share what they do and how they do it, and learn from and collaborate with others. Instructables was started by the partners at Squid Labs because they needed a quick and easy way to document and collaborate on our many projects. It seemed really useful to us, so they shared it with everyone, and now it's growing so fast they assembled a whole team devoted just to Instructables.



All of the tutorials, called Instructables, on the website are free. To create a new Instructable, comment on someone else's Instructable, or do lots of other cool things, you need to create a free account.

MIT's OpenCourseWare: Provides free, searchable, course materials for educators, students, and self-learners around the world.

MIT OCW is a large-scale, Web-based electronic publishing initiative funded jointly by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation , MIT, and generous support of the Ab Initio software company.

MIT OCW's goals are to:

• Provide free, searchable, access to MIT's course materials for educators, students, and self-learners around the world.
• Extend the reach and impact of MIT OCW and the "opencourseware" concept.

MIT OCW would not be possible without the support and generosity of the MIT faculty who choose to share their research, pedagogy, and knowledge to benefit others. We expect MIT OCW to reach a steady - though never static - state by 2008. Between now and then, we will publish the materials from virtually all of MIT's undergraduate and graduate courses.

We will be continually evaluating the Access, Use, and Impact of MIT OCW. With 1,550 courses published as of November 1, 2006, we are still in a learning stage of this MIT initiative and we will benefit enormously from your feedback, as we strive to make MIT OCW as rich and useful as possible for our users.
